Man­i­toba dance troupe Sag­keeng’s Finest was crowned as the show’s in­au­gu­ral win­ner on May 4, earn­ing a prize pack­age that in­cluded $100,000.

But the show, the lat­est in­stal­ment of the Bri­tish Got Tal­ent fran­chise, never gained a foothold in the rat­ings dur­ing its two-month run.

“Af­ter care­ful con­sid­er­a­tion of all fac­tors, in­clud­ing the cur­rent eco­nomic cli­mate, Ci­tytv has re­fo­cused its pro­gram­ming strat­egy and will not be pro­duc­ing Canada’s Got Tal­ent for the 2012-13 sea­son,” Scott Moore, Rogers Me­dia’s pres­i­dent of broad­cast, said in a state­ment.

“Ci­tytv re­mains ex­tremely proud of Canada’s Got Tal­ent and the na­tional plat­form it pro­vided to show­case our di­verse and eclec­tic home­grown tal­ent from across the coun­try.”
